Music And Bad Manners (1916)

""Music And Bad Manners"" is a book written by Carl Van Vechten and first published in 1916. The book is a collection of essays that explore the intersection of music and social etiquette. Van Vechten argues that there is a strong connection between good manners and good music, and that a lack of appreciation for one often reflects a lack of appreciation for the other. The essays cover a range of topics, from the proper way to behave at a concert to the etiquette of music criticism. Van Vechten draws on his own experiences as a music critic and cultural commentator to provide insight into the social and cultural significance of music. The book is written in a lively and engaging style, and is a fascinating glimpse into the world of music and manners in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
